Resource List for Web
Designers
HTML Guides and
Tutorials
This section is mainly on teaching the HTML
language; the next section, site design, is good advice on how to
use it once you've learnt it. There is probably some overlap
between the two sections.
- Bare
Bones Guide to HTML
-
- The HTML Guru
-
- HTML Programming
Tutorials
-
- Web Mastery archives
- A series of articles that were published on the Pure
Fiction Web site, on how to write Web sites.
Chatty but covers all the basics.
-
- Style Guide for Online
Hypertext
- Tim Berners-Lee's style guide.
The man who invented HTML should know! Despite
the warning that it's out of date, it actually
covers version 3.2 of HTML (1997). But it's what
it says: a style guide, not an HTML primer.
-
- Web
Designer's Paradise
- From Desktop Publishing's site.
This is a huge resource archive.
Beginners should start with the link to "HTML
Basic and Advanced" and leave things like
CGI scripts and Java for later...
-
- HTML Programming
Tutorials
- A concise list of links.
-
- D.J.Quad's Ultimate HTML Site

links to the tutorials start more than halfway
down the page, after the long list of all the
cool things he's hoping to add by May 1st.

Library of WWW Development
- "A comprehensive
illustrated encyclopedia of web technology, The

Design

advice: should be required reading for all Web
site designers!
-
- Web
Style guide
- Created by a small group of Web designers at Sun,
this is "a cookbook for helping people
create better web pages". It provides advice
and examples regarding "purpose, audience,
links, page length, graphics, image maps,
navigation, security, quality, netiquette,
content, selling and language". What else is
there?

Bad Style Page
- Lots of good advice, just no
humour. Perhaps I wouldn't miss it if Bud Uglly
hadn't shown me how to tackle the problem of
demonstrating bad style.
-
- Bud
Ugly's Web Design Page
- A live demonstration of how
not to do it. Not to be missed! But be
warned: you will laugh until your sides split!
The more you know about HTML, the more you'll
laugh.
